We belong together

Chapter 39

Tessa's POV

After our steamy shower, I wrap myself in a towel and I look in the mirror and I see a red spot on my neck. I'm going to kill him. My mother doesn't know about my active sexual life and if I don't hide this, she will ask me a lot.

"Are you admiring your mark, love?" He smirks and he puts his hands on my shoulders.

"I'm going to kill you." I take off his hands. I'm pretty pissed at him.

"What's wrong baby?"

"What's wrong? You can't see this huge hickey?! What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

"It hurts?" He gently touches my neck.

"No! But it's huge and my mom will see this and she will ask me a lot of questions. She doesn't know that I started my sexual activity and I don't need her advices about sex, ok?"

"You can hide it with make-up."

"It's so easy to say this! No sex for one week! Now leave me alone!"

"But baby..."

"No! I'm really mad at you."

"I'm sorry."

"Your excuses are not accepted. Now leave me alone!" I'm really mad at him.

"I'm sorry, Tess."

"I'm not talking with you." He deserves this. "Now get out of the bathroom."

"Babe..."

"Hardin! I said to leave. I'm not in the mood to fight with you."

"Ok, ok. I'm leaving."

He leaves and I look at the bruise on my neck. If my mom sees it, she's going to be insane. I get dress and I go in my room where I find Hardin playing with his phone.

"Babe, I'm really sorry."

"Look, I know you like to mark your territory, but let's not do this here. I know my mom very well and I am sure she will ask you a lot of things if she knows about me having sex."

"Why you get so mad?" He drags me in his arms.

"I'm close to my mother, but I don't feel like I can tell her about me being sexual active, that's all. So please, be more careful next time."

"So, I'm forgiven?"

"Still no sex one week."

"Oh, c'mon! I know you can't resist me." He slides his hand under my t-shirt and I take off his hand.

"I'm trying to being serious, here! And you are not helping!"

"Like I said, you can't resist me."

"Yes, I can."

"I want to see this."

"Good. One week I'm not touching you." I say proud.

"Deal. Just kisses. And if I win, you will let me to fuck you in your office in the middle of your schedule."

"And if I win, you will have to... Hmm, let me think..." Oh, I have an idea. "You will wear one of my lingerie for one night."

"Deal. But let's start from tomorrow. I'm still horny after that shower." He smirks and he start to lifts up the edges of my t-shirt.

"No, no, no. We have a bet so keep your hands off." I smiles and I sit on the bed.

"Oh, c'mon!" He wants to touch my legs.

"Hey, you want to lose the bet, love?"

"No! I'm keeping my hands off, I promise." He lays down next to me.

"What should we do now?"

"We can watch a movie."

"Ok, which movie?" I ask him while I take my laptop.

"Fifty Shades of Grey?"

"Oh, no! You will see sex there and you will be horny and you will lose the bet." I giggle.

"You really want to won the bet right?"

"You would look lovely in my lingerie." I bite my lower lip.

"Tess, you're playing with fire."

"And what if I do this?"

"You're playing dirty." He comes closer to me and he start to tickle me.

"No, stop!" I laugh and he still tickles me.

"You should stop, babe!"

"I promise I'm not provoking you again." I laugh and he stops.

"Promise?"

"I do."

"Ok." He kisses me and then he moves in his initial position.

"Let's see a movie. What about Divergent?"

"Perfect!"

I play the movie and after two hours we finish the first movie, but it's already late to see the next one and to be honest, I'm bored about watching a movie. We want to go to sleep and I got a message from my mother.

Messages between Tessa and her mother, Carol

Carol: He proposed me! And I said yes!!!

Tessa: Oh, God! I'm so happy for you!

Carol: I'm staying this night at his house, I hope it's ok. We will talk more tomorrow, ok?

Tessa: Yes. Have fun, mum.

Carol: I love you baby.

Tessa: Love you too.

"Why are you smiling?"

"My mother... Her boyfriends just proposed her. I'm happy for her. She finally found happiness."

"Baby?"

"Yes."

"What happened with you dad?"

"He died when I was nine... He was an alcoholic and... Yeah. I don't like to talk about this."

"It's ok." He kisses my forehead. "Let's sleep."

"Good night."

"Good night, baby."
